A Green Heart

Welcome to the Future is the only festival with a 'Outstanding' when it comes to sustainability. This was proven by the Greener Festival Award, an independent international organization that follows and awards festivals with a forward thinking green vision. Today we can proudly say to be one of the 10 greenest festivals in the world! More about the award can be found here: A Greener Festival.

Did you know that almost all of our food has an organic source, that we use recycled materials to build our stages and that our generators partly run on waste vegetable oil? Or that we hand out free tapwater in reusable bottles?

But most importantly, our visitors have supported and believed in our green vision since the very beginning. Thanks to their never resting dedication we were able to plant more than 2000 trees during our volunteering days and recycle thousands of plastic cups during the event.

Greenpeace, our new sustainable partner

Do you already know? This year we’re teaming up with Greenpeace, who will be supporting us in our green activities and help us spreading the word about the hottest environmental topics.

Greenpeace will be setting up camp on our festival terrain!

Keep your eyes open for the white tent right on the hill net to the festival entrance!
